The Priceless Lion
The Wolf and the Lamb
The seventh day outlined at the beginning of Genesis is a prophecy. If man and woman were created on the sixth day, the seventh represents God's finished work upon what love, marriage, and the great mystery of the Bride of Christ means. The Lord of the Sabbath, the one who had the option to be a chosen vessel and marry Mary Magdalene chose to be something greater and receive his inheritance of all of us as one great web of life: a beautiful tree intertwined in a fashion that glorifies creation and the Creator.If the wolf is a wild dog—a veteran to the fight—who is well acquainted with pain and can't be tamed, why would scripture use this animal as an analogy to represent the chosen vessel and daughter Zion? If a wolf wants love and innately knows he will not find it among the wild, if he knows he might not find it among the tame—at least not at first—what makes him trust daughter Zion and eventually reign over her (Genesis 2:25, Isaiah 65:25 KJV)? If the dog can be made so gentle as to be suitable for daughter Zion to adopt him, what stops them from turning on each other (Job 41:5 KJV)?
If the lion is a mighty one, second only to Christ himself, which of the two lions bends the knee to Him? When the lioness is on the hunt, who would risk opposing her appetite? Consider what it means to be the queen. How many have fallen because they bent the knee to her (Proverbs 6:6-8 KJV)? Have you been fast in your ways? How can you say "no" to daughter of Pharaoh and keep the strength you've accumulated? Whose wisdom would you use to appeal to her heart and grant her submission to you?
"Two candles burning in the black of night with but a spark to
keep them alive.
Could not the Lord Your God, who opened the eyes of the blind, have caused that even this man should not have died?"
